There was an entry on Bob's facebook shared from Hazels pumpkin patch that made me wonder just what the.. It said if you can look closely you can see the first pumpkin of the season.. I then went out and looked at my "pumpkin" patch.. Pumpkin in quotations because this year, just like last year, I have something growing in the pumpkin patch that DON'T resemble pumpkins.. They might be only sunflowers, which if they grow proportionate to the size they are growing right now... OH BABY WATCH OUT thems could in fact be giant alas mammoth as the package says.. Or I might be coveting yet another crop of weeds just like last year.. I was so proud of the crop last year, growing perfectly along the water line set out by the smaller soaker hose, the crop was perfect except for one thing, they were weeds.. And this year might be the same thing.. Started the pumpkins from seed a week into May, directly into the ground.. They came up and the picture on the back of the package showed that is in fact what we were getting.. So how do they turn from pumpkin to sunflowers?? Or quite possibly weeds.. One thing for sure, they are extremely healthy looking whatever they are..
